“All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.”
All the nations are as nothing before him, they are regarded by him as less than nothing and meaningless, establishing the ultimate assessment of nations in the face of God's reality. The oracle reduces national power and significance to less than nothing and meaninglessness. The assertion emphasizes the absolute transcendence of God and the relative insignificance of all human and national entities.
